Let The Ritual Begin

The glow of the screen illuminates his heavily pierced; tattoo-stained face as his fingers dance nimbly across the keyboard…searching; hunting.

His computer handle is Captain Howdy; and he surfs the local chat rooms for young female prey. Girls like Genevieve and Tiana; who mysteriously vanish after an online conversation with the cunning cyber-predator. Detective Mike Gage has a personal stake in the case: Genevieve is his daughter.

When Tiana's corpse - Tortured; pierced and scarred-is discovered in the river; Gage realizes that time is running out for Genevieve. Taking sadistic delight in Gage's desperation; Captain Howdy sends the detective a series of taunting e-mails; challenging him to a deadly online game of cat and mouse; and drawing him into his "Modern Primitive"world - A strange land of fetish bars; S&M; Body Modification and Goth-Rock.
